Design and conquer: Global focus on Finland for Helsinki Design Week

Nordic design is world famous, helped in no small part by the careers of Finnish creatives. The design scene is nonstop, but if there was a designated season for design in Finland, early autumn would be it.

Honoured as World Design Capital in 2012, Helsinki has also held its own Helsinki Design Week every autumn since 2005. The 2017 festival runs from September 7 to 17 and features about 250 events. Attendance is expected to hit 200,000.
